The First Decision forSuccess

The Buck StopsHere

From this moment forward, I willaccept responsibility for my past.

I understand that the beginning of wisdom is to accept responsibility for my own problems and that by acceptingresponsibility for my past,
I free myself to move into a bigger, brighter futureof my own choosing.

Never again will I blame my parents, my spouse, my boss, or other employees for my present situation. Neither my education nor lack of one, my genetics, or the circumstantial ebb andflow of everyday life will affect my future in
a negative way. If I allow myself to blame these uncontrollable forces for my lack of success, I will be forever caught in a web of the past. I will look forward.
I will not let my historycontrol my destiny.

The buck stops here.

I accept responsibility for my past.
I am responsible for my success.
I am where I am today – mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally and financially – because of decisions Ihave made. My decisions have always been
governed by my thinking. Therefore, Iam where I am today – mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally and financially – because of how I think.

Today I will begin the process of changing where I am – mentally, physically,
spiritually, emotionally and financially –
by changing the way I think.
My thoughts will be constructive, never destructive.

My mind will live in the solutions of the future. It will not dwell in the problems of the past. I will seek the association of those who are working and striving to bring about positive changes in the world. I will never seek comfort by associating with
those who have decided to be comfortable.

When faced with the opportunity to make a decision, I will make one. I understand that God did not put in me theability to always make right decisions.
He did, however, put in me the ability to make a decision and then make it right.
The rise and fall of my emotionaltide will not deter me from my course.
When I make a decision, I will stand behind it.
My energy will go into making
the decision. I will waste none onsecond thoughts.

My life will not be an apology.
It will be astatement.

The buck stops here.

I control my thoughts.
I control my emotions.
In the future when I am tempted toask the question “Why me?” I will immediately counter with the answer: “Why not me?” Challenges are gifts, opportunities to learn. Problems are the common thread running through the livesof great men and women. In times of adversity, I will not have a problem to dealwith; I will have a choice to make. My thoughts will be clear. I will make theright choice. Adversity is preparation for greatness. I will accept this
preparation. Why me? Why not me? I will be prepared for something great!
I accept responsibility for my past. I control my thoughts. I control my
emotions. I am responsible for mysuccess.

The buck stops here.
